Tell which applications you are looking at.

firefox, acroread, pgadmin3, vmware, gimp, ...

I'm guessing that, since gimp uses it, it's some
version of GTK? (Doesn't "GTK" stand for "Gimp TookKit"?)

While you are at it, why not tell us what you think is wrong with
the dialog.

Well, I'm not a GUI expert, but there are a couple of things that
seem fairly obvious to me:

1. No "View As..." mode. E.g., viewing as a list of files, icons, etc.
2. Related to 1, and starting this thread, allowing the files displayed
in the current directory display to be rendered somehow. E.g., .jpg files
would display a tiny image of their content. Etc.
